Hello Klaas, 

Sorry about the late response. 

I wouldn’t update the CPLD unless you have been directed by support to do so, 
or you notice there is a fix in the release notes that are applicable to an 
issue you may be facing.

Hi,
so is it recommended that I update it on all my Dell Servers or not? :)  From a 
customer point of view: If you want me to update CPLD regularly I would expect 
it to show up in the default yum repo and I would expect DSU to be able to 
handle the CPLD updates properly (ie not applying them with other updates). 
Otherwise this means I have to do a lot of manual work or write my own dsu 
replacement

Hello All,

Just to interject, the CPLD has to be applied independent of all other firmware 
updates, failure to do so can result in a motherboard failure. For this reason 
it was removed from the repo. Updating the CPLD is perfectly fine as long as 
its done independent of all other firmware updates.

https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=5j9kp=wst14=poweredge-r740

NOTE:
The server should never be powered down while this update is executing.

When updating CPLD using IDRAC/Lifecycle Controller, DUP update should always 
be executed as a standalone task and never queued up with other updates.

I've run into this before, and the feedback I got from engineering is that the 
risk of something going wrong during a CPLD update (any sort of power 
fluctuation) could brick the server.  And CPLD updates should only be run to 
fix specific issues (such as the 13G blade issue we saw previously).  This 
isn't like BIOS or NIC FW where there are relatively frequent updates.

Hi

The CPLD and Power Supply firmware packages are *NOT * included in the 
default catalog. If you want to update the PowerSupply and CPLD then 
create a repository with DellEMC Repository Manager ( DRM) tool by 
importing PowerSupply and CPLD components in repository. Then use
